It turns out that Dahl was a real antisemite, to me that is more of an issue: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/dec/06/roald-dahl-fam...

Roald Dahl personally killed Nazis as a fighter pilot.

Go look it up.

>>anonre+xb1
He had four or five confirmed kills with no indication that the German pilots of the Junkers Ju 88s over Greece were Nazis.

He also killed at least one Vichy French Air Force pilot .. again there's no indication whether that pilot (or pilots) were Nazis.

Every single German soldier who kept fighting ensured that death camps stayed open for longer. Every single piece of land that they managed to capture was annexed to the Nazi state and the SS could do their dirty work there. It doesn't really matter what those pilots thought themselves. My country is almost Judenfrei now, because of those German soldiers.

Sure.

Nazi ideals are bad, we can agree.

WWII is especially complex and resistes being reduced to black and white simplistics because of the same kinds of complications that exist today.

Back in the day the UK Royal Family was even more closely tied to their German cousins, many political groups in the UK were sympathetic to Nazi ideals even if opposed to the war expansion .. and the same was true for the USofA.

But, returning to the original point, I see no evidence that Dahl killed literal actual Nazi's.
